Just so you know, 4-6" "lift" leaf springs will lift your truck about 7-8". I have STOCK rise waggy springs and i'm sitting at 5" of lift, and mine are not mounted parallell. If they would i'd have a bout 6.5" of lift.

Well, I'm going to save up and get some primo **** for when I do the SAS, and of course, I'll have another vehicle to drive, so I can take my time. Here's my list of junk so far:
Front
-Custom Width Currie 9" with High Pinion 3rd Member
-Spicer 35spline Chromoly Axle Shafts
-ARB Locker
-5.00 Gears for 35s
-High Clearance/Skidplate Options
-Either Deadenbear or Crane Inners/Outers with Hi-Steer Brackets
-F450 Unit Bearings
-Warn F450 Locking Hubs
-BTF Coil Mounting Kit
-Skyjacker 8" Lift Coils
-Bilstein 7100s
-Custom Adjustable Radius Arms
Rear
-Custom Width Currie 9" with High Pinion 3rd Member
-Spicer 35spline Chromoly Axle Shafts
-ARB Locker
-5.00 Gears for 35s
-High Clearance/Skidplate Options
-BTF Coil Mounting Kit
-Skyjacker 8" Lift Coils
-Bilstein 7100s
-Custom Adjustable Radius Arms
Transmission will probably be a C4
Transfercase will probably be an Atlas 4sp
Tom Woods Driveshafts
CTM or OX U-Joints
I think that's pretty much it.

Hey, i have a couple questions also... I have just a few more things to buy before I start my SAS...
My truck is a 97. I am using a 1982 Wagoneer Front Dana 44 (Leaf Spring) and an Isuzu Rodeo Rear Dana 44 (Disc Brake and matches front 44 bolt pattern).
My questions are:
1. Will my current steering gear box work? I know they changed them after 97, but I'm not sure...
2. I'm pretty sure pre-98 rangers had the speed sensor in the tranny. Correct? That would mean i can use any rear axle i want (ABS is not a necessity).
3. I am currently running 36x13.50's and have 5.71 gears in my 8.8. The rear Dana 44 has 4.10 gears. Do you think this would be sufficient in handling 36's?
4. Would I have to run any form of wheel spacers on my front axle in order to clear the leaf springs when turning? I know Jey did, but I'm not sure if he did it from necessity or just wanted to...
If anyone can answer these questions, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!
